Send a PM to @Camaroboy383 about buying some of his 3D printed body skid plates!

I did the drywall tape and e6000 and it came out great so far

Have it on mine and it saved the body multiple times.

These are available on Thingiverse if you have a 3D printer. I also think I have seen them on eBay too.

1/4" UHMW plastic sheet with beveled edges and countersunk holes. Also added double sided tape for a bit of cushion and to hold it while I drilled the holes:

I did run some 3/4" HDPE stuff (cutting board) I had, but it looked goofy, so got some thinner stuff and made new ones. I run the probodyrc bodies, which are tough to crack, but are pretty soft, so concrete is not kind to them. I did this after noticing I had a small hole ground through on my stampede 4x4.

I'll probably bevel the edges a bit more now that I'm looking at them... I made the latest 2 at 1am when my wife was sleeping in the next room, so didn't want to go nuts with the sander. lol!

On my outcast, I had a piece of delrin flat stock that was just wide enough to work ok. It's harder than the UHMW I'm using on the other two.

Looking at the hood and rear of the stampede... I might put something on there too as they are getting ground up a bit. I run that one at skate parks a lot.

Traxxas roof guard a d typhon wing . Really protects the body and looks good.

I don't use or need them. Because I never flip my lid.

I made this for the Senton. If anybody is interested I can do the same for the bigrock and sell them. The 6 skid rails aren't my design so I'm not selling them.

Did you cut the body to fit the wing?
Would you mind sharing a picture of the rear to see how you cut it?

How did you install it? What tools did you use?

 

[razorrc]

I find using the tires to be the best protection for avoiding damage to the roof.

Is that the Typhon 4s or 6s wing?

 

[Kla912000]

There is no Typhon 4s

That was a typo...
